Cleaning a ceramic glass cooktop safely is all about using the right tools, gentle technique, and consistency. Here’s a simple, scratch-free method that works well:
🧼 Daily Cleaning (after each use)
- Let the surface cool slightly (warm is okay, hot is not).
- Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.
- Use a few drops of dish soap mixed with warm water.
- Dry with a clean microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
✨ Deeper Cleaning (for stains & buildup)
- Apply a cooktop-specific cleaner (like those made for ceramic glass).
- Let it sit for a minute or two.
- Gently rub with a non-abrasive pad or soft cloth in circular motions.
- Wipe clean and buff dry.
🔥 Removing Burnt-On Residue
- Use a ceramic cooktop scraper (with a razor blade).
- Hold it at a low angle (about 30–45°).
- Gently scrape—don’t press hard.
- Follow up with cleaner and wipe clean.
🧴 DIY Method (if you don’t have cleaner)
- Sprinkle baking soda over the surface.
- Lay a cloth soaked in warm vinegar on top for 10–15 minutes.
- Gently wipe away grime, then rinse and dry.
🚫 What to Avoid (prevents scratches!)
- No steel wool or abrasive scrubbers
- No harsh powders or gritty cleaners
- Avoid dragging heavy pots across the surface
- Don’t use regular glass cleaner for heavy grime (can leave residue)
💡 Extra Tips
- Clean spills (especially sugar-based) immediately to prevent damage
- Use cookware with smooth, flat bottoms
- Buff with a dry cloth after cleaning for a polished shine
